Friends I am creating a way of life in which your ingredients will be returned to you. Our lives are controlled by rules, restrictions, limitations, hatred and big concrete things. So, as of this Tuesday I am removing power from our government and parliament an other rulers. This city shall be run by the elder generations like grandparents and generally old people. The old leaders will go to the naughty step where they will destroy all presentations and fax machines and become natural beings. I am confiscating all mansions and making them flats for the homeless. All property developers will report to the roof for training in building in the clouds. Nothing will be barricaded it is free country no limits. Small family businesses are the only ones aloud and no money either everything is free or you trade products. Everyone shall be taught the art of sewing to make ones clothing. There will be no big stores or mass produced products every thing must have a history no smoking alcohol on unessential drugs. We all shall learn how to milk a goat. There shall be compulsory napping from one till two for over worked adults and smallish children. Therefore they must not walk but ride around on beds with wheels. People must share what they don’t need. We will tear down all offices and work places and replace them with more farmland. Each of us will learn how to Lindy hop We can travel if we want to but not all year round. The air of the city will smell of freshly baked bread. There will be free bikes and tricycles for all The city will be filled with the sounds of running water, and bird song. Cheese will be small and humans will be cheerful. Adults will make giant teacup can sleep in it. We will grow all our own fruit and vegetables Cornflakes and potatoes will be plentiful Visitors need not bring anything but Joy. This is My Homage to you.

Don’t know what you’re doing tomorrow night? Come occupy Trafalgar Square with some cool anti-cuts types. Bring a tent if you have one. Otherwise just chill, listen to music and chalk whatever message you like for the rest of London to read. Expecting hundreds, you wouldn’t want to miss out on this…

Following the (reported) half a million strong march, a handful of people occupied Hyde Park by Speakers corner in a legal land claim with the intention to squat the land until the demands of the (reported) half a million marchers are met.
By invoking article 61 of the Magna Carta law this made…

On Saturday the 26th of March 2011 Trafalgar Square was occupied by anti-cuts protesters with the intention to stay peacefully overnight. We plan to make another attempt at a occupation of Trafalgar Square on Saturday 2nd of April to show our continued peaceful resistance, and do so with a clearer purpose and approach, and a greater level of organisation.
The people united will never be defeated. If they push us we will come back and if they knock us down then we will get up again. If we choose to resist an attempt to remove us, then it will be non-violently; through passive resistance. We refuse to use violence when it is violence done to our society that we are trying to resist.
In occupying Trafalgar Square, we hope to create a space where alternatives to current policy can be discussed and learned about. We’re looking in to getting some speakers for this purpose.
Over the last few months, a new dawn of resistance has swept the globe with huge crowds occupying Tahrir square in Egypt and the State Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin. This has inspired millions, as the same shock doctrines and neo-liberal attacks threaten to devastate the lives of ordinary people the world over. Here, our own government has no mandate to cut and is also weak as its policy u turns have shown.
On April 2nd we are inviting everyone to join us to stay in Trafalgar square for 24 hours to discuss alternatives to this government and to send a message across the globe that we stand with the people of Egypt, Libya, Wisconsin and with all those fighting for equality, freedom and justice.
Our aim is to ride the momentum of the actions from the 26th. Apologies to anyone who can’t make it to London on this short notice but hopefully this will lead to further actions to keep the movement going. There will be a synchronised pitching of tents at 18.30 so a camp will appear as if from nowhere, banners included.
We want to show solidarity and support to those who were arrested for participating in non-violent protest on the 26th, including the 138 UKuncut protesters who were sitting on the floor of a tea shop. There will be a chance for individuals who suffered at the hands of police at the previous demonstration to let people know what happened.
To make the Square liveable for up to 24 hours we ask that everyone looks after the area and puts litter in bins provided. We will also aim to have a set space for a toilet.
It’s up to you if you choose to bring and drink alcohol, but we think we should remember that we’re here for serious reasons, and should try and keep a clear head. This is important for the perception of a demonstration or action by others and, in case events do take a turn for the worse, for keeping safe and avoiding further unpleasantness. We would like to emphasise that this is a peaceful protest and not a place for violence and disorder.
It would be good to see representatives of all anti-cuts groups at the Square to show solidarity and unity and, particularly in light of yesterday’s March for the Alternative, representatives from trade unions would be most welcome. We see this action as an opportunity to show students, workers and all sections of the anti-cuts movement uniting together.
This is both a place to discuss alternatives and to peacefully protest against the current government’s cuts program. Invite all your friends, this could be really big.
We have received messages of support from:
Derek Wall - Green Party
Nicole Lukas - London South Bank SU Education Officer-elect

The truth of how a peaceful party was turned violent by a bunch of thugs - the police. Necessary reading, please read and reblog
Political oversight (of Libya) will be in the hands of a Nato-led committee modelled on the body that oversees the International Security and Assistance Force (Isaf) in Afghanistan.

Support your lecturers today. Don’t go to your lectures. If you’re feeling really active, show your solidarity on the picket line. Otherwise, just spend it in bed - this will be more useful than going to your lecture. Also, if you’re in London there will be a rally at 1pm at LSE and a march to Downing Street.

“How to Fuck Up” — and how to clean up when you fuck up.
I have a little tool that I call “The Four A’s” (I learned it from an absolutely fantastic teacher) and it has helped me through numerous fuck-ups in my life.
When you “Fuck Up” (whether the fuck-up is minor or…
Yeah, completely. My flatmate can’t ever admit to being wrong to the point that she’s been avoiding us for the last few days. If she could just talk about what she did or apologise then there would be no need for hiding away at all.
In any act of nonviolent direct action the question should be not “should I do this?” but “how effective a tactic is this?
